Fennel libraries as single files (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-21 17:03:18

I’m pleased to announce that most of my libraries for fennel are now shipped as single files! It was a long-standing issue with Fennel for me, as there was no clear way to ship both macros and functions in the same file, but after some experimentation, I figured out a way. After a bit of testing with my new library for asynchronous programming I can say that it works well enough to be used in most other libraries. Although the implementation is a bit rough and manual, that’s what I’ll try to des

OpenFreeMap survived 100k requests per second

I was about to post about how nice the last 10 months of OpenFreeMap have been. The architecture has really proven itself to be great, Cloudflare has agreed to sponsor the bandwidth, Hetzner servers are super stable as always, serving tiles from Btrfs proved to be a great choice, nginx is amazing, and life is good. Then, out of the blue, I'm getting reports that some tiles are not loading, which normally means tile generation bugs, but not this time. I look into the nginx logs and see this: 20

As a certified sleep science coach and mattress tester of five years, I'm no stranger to soothing noises being part of many people's sleep hygiene arsenal. For some, the perfect soundtrack might be white noise. For others, it could be a different color entirely—sometimes streamed on their phone, but often courtesy of a sound machine. If your sound machine or app offers a variety of different colored sounds, how might you know what they mean, or which might be best for your brain? How Noise Is “

The work, published as a study in the journal Science Advances, focuses on transposable elements, a class of DNA sequences that can "jump," via a biological copy-and-paste mechanism, to different locations in a genome.
